Question

In a persuasive speech titled Africa Needs Clean water, each of the following is a valuable piece of information to include except:

A. statistics stating how many Africans dont have a good water source.
B. statistics demonstrating how much it costs to dig one well to support a town in Africa.
C. statistics stating how many Africans die of diseases related to using unclean water.
D. statistics describing how much clean water Americans waste every year.

Answer 1

The answer can be eliminated to either B or D. However, knowing how much water Americans waste is irrelevant to the subject. The letter B can be used as a counter argument. "Although it may cost much to build wells in Africa, the effects of a cleaner water source and healthier living conditions make it worth while".
